Fairy Tales

About this book

No children’s library is complete without this beautiful hardcover edition of the Brothers Grimm’s original fairy tales. Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Tom Thumb, and Snow White are among the jewels we owe to the German Brothers Grimm, who began in the first decade of the 19th century to seek out and listen to village storytellers. The best-loved of the tales they discovered have inspired generations and are now brought together with the marvelous pictures that in 1900 first established the reputation of one of the greatest children's illustrators of all time, Arthur Rackham. Featuring 63 classic fairy tales, including: • “The Frog-Prince” • “Briar Rose” • “Cat and Mouse in Partnership” • “Tom Thumb” • “Rumpelstiltskin” • “Hansel and Gretel” • “Rapunzel” • “The Twelve Huntsmen” • “Snow-White and Rose-Red” Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, and European-style half-round spines.rthur Rackham.
